FFF Results Post #123—School’s Out

On Friday afternoon, participating CR readers were asked to "Name Five Educational Institutions From The Comics You Wouldn't Mind Attending." Here are the results.



Tom Spurgeon

1. Xavier Institute For Higher Learning (Original Class)
2. Westview High
3. Empire State University (If only for the liberal attendance policy)
4. Cromartie High School
5. Milford High

*****



Ben Schwartz

1) Emperor's New Clothes Magazine -- where Dan Pussey apprenticed to Gummo Bubbleman.
2) Columbia University, Frank Miller's version when Matt Murdoch and Foggy Nelson met: the only Ivy League University I've ever seen with its own law school bully.
3) The grad school Reed Richards and "Doctor" Doom attended, which clearly allows doctorates no matter how crazy you are or if you even graduate.
4) Legion Academy -- assuming critical insights into comics counts as a superpower.
5) Granny Goodness' training camps for 4th World dog soldiers -- it's harsh, but I really need to get into shape, boot camp style.

*****



Uriel A. Duran

1) Academy of Law
2) Any monastery at Nanda Parbat (any DC character who wants to learn martial arts goes there)
3) Manga Khan School of Melodrama
4) Carizzio Modeling University
5) The Umbrella Academy

*****



Michael Grabowski

1. Peppermint Patty's elementary school (because it's integrated.)
2. Charlie Brown's elementary school (I'm pretty sure they went to different schools. P. P. seemed to be from another neighborhood.)
3. The school where Hopey works now.
4. Calvin's elementary school.
5. Xavier's School for the Gifted.

I'm not sure I would enjoy the education at any of these places, but I wouldn't mind being pals with the other students.

Tom Cherry

1. Ace Obedience School
2. Legion Academy
3. P.S. 238
4. Riverdale High
5. Springfield Elementary

*****



Vito Delsante

2. Gotham State University
3. Any high school in Hoppers where I could meet Penny (Century)
4. Empire State University (the Reed/Ben/Doom years)
5. Midtown High School

*****



Sean Kleefeld

1. James Street Elementary, where Charlie Brown's teacher sounds like a muted trumpet
2. Glenville High, whose students were nice enough to let Johnny Storm think he had a secret identity
3. Westview High, but only to play in Harry L. Dinkle's marching band
4. Transylvania Polygnostic University (School motto: Know enough to be afraid)
5. Demon School Hades, for my Ph(antasy)D(egree) work

*****

4) school with the cast of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Buzz Dixon

4. Space Academy (Tom Corbett, Space Cadet)
5. Whatever school Huey, Dewey, and Louie attended

Johnny Bacardi

1. Benedict Arnold High School (Once more, from The Adventures of Bob Hope)
2. UCLA (specifically the classes taught by Victoria Nutley)
3. Knox State University (Pfiefer & Thompson's Finals)
4. Charm School
5. Enormous State University (Tank McNamara) -- I just think that's a great pun.

I also wanted to name the Amarcadian Space Academy from Starstruck, but I couldn't recall if it was a Brigade or a military school and I didn't have my comics handy. C'est la vie.

*****



Grant Goggans

1. James Street, or Pinecrest Elementary, just as soon as there's consensus on which school Charlie Brown actually attended
2. Penguin Village Middle School, to pick Arale for my team in every sport
3. Pembroke Academy, in order for teenage me to woo Cheryl Blossom once she moves there, and to get the necessary prep classes to get into...
4. State University, to catch the Richards-von Doom rivalry in full swing
5. finally The Legion Academy, because I'm certain to have some power that'd earn me a flight ring.

2. Hudson University (Dick Grayson's school)
3. Furinkan High (Ramna 1/2)
4. The elementary school with Miss Othmar's classroom
